Consumption be Successfully Treatod9
Dr. Borgeon, leading French doctor,
has new treatment for consumption
lie gives an enema Of carboHic acid and
sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the latter
gas carrying the former into every parS Of
the throat and lungs.
This treatment, too, Ia directed at effects
the cause remains undisturbcd.
What this cause is has been stated by per.
hapB the highest pulmonary authority in
the world, I. c., the Brompton Hospital for
Consumptiyes, In London, Eng.
This malady every year carries of from
lation Of England
DR.. Payne, NJ. D., NJ. r. @. p, London,
is authority for this statement.
The same or a greater proportion OF
death obtains In America.
DR.. Payne also says that onohalf the
total number of deaths from oil other
causes have seeds Of this disease in the sys-
tenn which only require some irritant to
develop
DR.. Hermann Brchmer an eminent Ger.
man authority, says that consumption Is
caused by deficient nutrition Of the lungs,
by poor blood.
These authorities cannot be disputed.
The medical world recognizes them. The
uric acid is the irritant In the blood that
causes the development Of the seeds which
DIR. Brehmer says lie'dormant In the blood.
Every particle Of blood which passes
through the lungs and heart also goes
through the Kidneys, andif they are In the
least deranged they cannot rid the blood of
Its killing poison. The thousand little hair.
like sewer tubes of the kidneys very easily
get blocked up and diseased; and when they
do, they corrupt instead of purifying the
blood. Kidney disease may exist, and yet
no pain occur IN that organ, because 1t Is
deficient in nerves OF sensation.
Dip your finger In acid every day and It
soon testers and is destroyed. Send acid
poisoned blood through the lungs every
second, and they soon give way.
The Brompton hospital investigation
showed that SO per cent. Of the victims Of
consumrtion were afflicted with derauged
kidneys, which permitted the uric acid poi.
son to remain in the blood and irritate the
lungs. This uric acid Is always fighting
every vital organ, and IL there be any in.
herent weakness In the lungs 1t inevitably
causes pneumonia, cough. and consump-
tion.
The real cause Of pulmonary troubles
being so authorltatlvely shown to be faulty
even though unsupported action Of the
kidneys, explains why, In order to master
the dreaded consumption, one must rid the
blood OF the uric acid irrltant which In
flames and burns up the lung substance.
For this purpose there Is nothing equal to
that great specific, Warmers safe cure;
This remedy has now the favor OF medical
men all over the world purely on its merits.
We haze no doubt that II the kidneys are
kept in natural action, consumption and a
great many other diseases. caused by uric
acid, will not only be cured, but will be
prevented.
When the kidney is healthy, no albumen
appears in the water, but albumen is found
In the water of more than half Of those who
die of consumption.
This, then, is the condition Of things that
always precedes consumption: First, weak
ened kidneys; second, retained uric acid,
poisoning the blood; third, the development
OF disease In the lungs by the irritant acids
passing through them. Then there is q
little cough in the morning; soon thick,
yellow matter is spit up, followed by loss
of flesh and strength, with dreadful night
sweats; and when the patient goes to his
school physician for help he Is put on cod
liver oil which his stomach, weakened also
by uric acid in the blood, cannot digest.
Because there is no pain present In the
kidneys the patient does not think they are
affected, but the kidney acid is doing Its
work every minute, every hour, day and
night, and by-and-by the disease OF the
lungs has advanced until pus has devel-
oped, then come hemorrhages, and at last
the CLASSY stare which denotes that the end
Is near!
A post.mortem examination Of such
cases shows that the terrible uric acid has
completely destroyed the substance Of the
lung.
1t is impossible to cure lung disease when
the blood is poisoned with uric acid.
